Bailout bottles

sisco · 25th April 2007, 15:14

Hey Guys,

Im running a vision in a KT tooling box,
at the moment i only have 3ltr cylinders for the system as ive not been running much deep/deco dives.
However im now looking at doing some 40m dives with bottom times of maybe 30-40mins.

which would be recommended to run larger onboard cylinders for bailouts or small onboards with some ali cylinders as offboard bailouts?

As i go deeper i figure it would be advantageous to get larger onboards - what should i be looking at ? (7lt steels?)

cheers,
Ger.

In my opinion there are two options, bigger back gas bottles that are worth something as bailout i.e two ten litres, this will keep the front clear of side slungs. Or carry enough bailout, personally I take two Ali 80cu fts and leave the unit as it is, and have whips on the bottles to plug in to the unit. many get to the surface safely with what you've got on oc and your happy then do that.
